Chapter 18: Killing in the Spring Water!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lord Emissary heard that the village was being attacked, he remained silent. He simply stared at the disciple who reported the situation to his clan master.

After all, Lord Emissary and the clan master were in the middle of discussing important matters when the disciple came barging in. In Lord Emissary’s opinion, this was a sign of disrespect.

When the clan master saw that Lord Emissary was displeased, he hurriedly reprimanded the disciple.

“Why are you panicking? Can’t you see that I am currently entertaining a distinguished guest?” the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades said unhappily.

“B-But Clan Master…”

“I don’t want to hear your explanation. If you need assistance, you should go and ask your senior! He’s a level ten cultivator of the Meridian Formation Realm. Even the first elder might not be a match for him,” the clan master interrupted the disciple.

“Y-Yes, Clan Master.” The disciple could only accept his master’s orders and leave.

…

Meanwhile, Su Mo had already arrived at the Myriad Flower Blade Village and even defeated a few disciples who guarded the gate, which was why one of the other disciples had rushed to the village’s main hall in a panic.

“Is this all the Myriad Flower Blade Clan has to offer?” Su Mo asked discontentedly.

Su Mo had already begun his assault, yet no one could stop him. He knew that the disciples of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan were truly weak, and they weren’t comparable to the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan or even the former Crimson Heart Clan. 

Knowing this, Su Mo was puzzled as to why the Myriad Flower Blades managed to become one of the strongest clans of the Righteous Path.

“Arrogant b*stard, you dare to attack the Myriad Flower Blade Village?!”

A few people appeared before Su Mo. They were eight of the ten Myriad Flower Blades’ top ten most capable disciples of the inner village.

They were all gathered there except for the young master of the Myriad Flower Blades and another inner disciple, Chen Qingshan.

“Interesting. There are so many high-level Meridian Formation Realm disciples. The Crimson Heart Clan can’t compare,” Su Mo said with great interest.

“Hmph, you dare to attack our village alone. It seems that you are confident in your capabilities,” an inner disciple said.

“Hahaha! Of course, I’m confident. It’s not my fault that your clan has such tiny amounts of strength,” Su Mo said arrogantly.

“Heavenly Punch!”

This punch did not have much power. It was a low-leveled version of the Heavenly Emperor Fist that Su Mo released. It was a technique that combined the surging blood essence of the Innate Saint-like Physique and infinite mana to exert force.

However, this punch made the eight inner disciples put up their guard. They felt an unprecedented threat of danger from the Heavenly Fist. The inner disciples usually felt this way when their clan master used his blade to test their strength.

“What the others said was true. This man is quite capable. Form a sword formation to block his attacks!” An inner disciple said.

The other disciples nodded in agreement and stood in their respective positions.

Then, they held their longswords in front of their chests and shouted in unison, “Myriad Flower Formation! Myriad Flower Fall!”

Then, they drew their swords together.

An ancient sword covered in flower petals appeared in the sky.

“Heavenly Emperor Fist!”

When Su Mo saw this, he knew it would be difficult to defeat his opponents with only his Heavenly Fist, so he hurriedly changed his technique.

A dazzling golden light appeared as Su Mo descended from the sky, resembling a God.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist collided with the enormous ancient sword, causing the entire village to tremble.

“How terrifying! That man managed to block the eight inner disciple’s attack on his own!”

“No, he defeated the eight inner disciples.”

Chen Qingshan, who had just arrived, and the disciple who had just commented on this scene were shocked.

“No, that can’t be!” The commenting disciple said bitterly.

“Go and look for the clan master. No one else will be able to stop this man besides the clan master.”

Chen Qingshan was about to leave after saying that.

“B-But the clan master is entertaining a distinguished guest as we speak. We are not allowed to disturb him!” The disciple said.

“The village is about to be destroyed. Why should we care about the distinguished guest?”

…

“Break!”

Su Mo’s voice echoed.

The enormous ancient sword shattered following Su Mo’s shout.

The eight inner disciples then fell from the sky!

“Hmph, you couldn’t even withstand a single blow from my Heavenly Emperor Fist!” Su Mo’s figure disappeared after saying this.

When everyone thought that Su Mo had left, he suddenly appeared beside Chen Qingshan.

“I heard that you’re going to look for your clan master. Where is the village’s main hall?” Su Mo asked as he looked at Chen Qingshan.

Chen Qishan gulped in fear and pointed toward the main hall as his hands trembled.

“Thanks. I’ll send you to your clan master’s side,” Su Mo said as he smiled menacingly.

Chen Qingshan gathered his courage and asked, “A-Aren’t you afraid of our clan master?”

“Well, I wouldn’t have come here if I were afraid, would I? You’re too slow. Here, let me send you on your way,” Su Mo said as he smiled maniacally.

Su Mo then grabbed Chen Qingshan by the collar and exclaimed, “Here you go!”

Su Mo swung as hard as he could, and Chen Qingshan gradually disappeared into the horizon.

“That should be the direction of the main hall,” Su Mo muttered to himself.

The remaining disciples of the Myriad Flower Blades at the sidelines trembled and did not dare utter a single word. They were afraid that this intimidating man would throw them out as he did with Chen Qingshan if he were unhappy.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not usually like this!” Su Mo said with a smile.

But this smile was undoubtedly devilish.

…

At this moment, the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades was in the main hall, having a friendly conversation with Lord Emissary of the Nine Heavens Palace. They had already settled the matter of their collaboration.

The clan master believed that the day would finally arrive when the Myriad Flower Blades would become known throughout the Raging Waves Continent.

Just as the clan master was about to make a decision, he heard a voice coming from above, “Clan Master, we need your help! The village is about to be destroyed by someone!”

Then, a figure descended from the sky, fell onto the ground, and rolled a few times before coming to a stop.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Chen Qingshan.

“What’s going on?” The clan master asked. He no longer paid attention to Lord Emissary at this point. He finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Qingshan hurriedly stood up and explained everything.

When the clan master heard this, he could not contain his anger. Someone was daring enough to attack his village.

“I’ll be back, Lord Emissary. I need to see just who dares to act so recklessly in my village,” the clan master said as his eyes filled with killing intent.

“We’ve already settled most of our matters. You can proceed to take care of this issue.”

Lord Emissary understood what the clan master was feeling. No one would be in a good mood if they found out their village was under attack.

The clan master immediately hurried along when he heard this.

Then a beam of light appeared from the clan master’s cultivation room and rushed toward his hand. It was the clan master’s sword, the Hundred Flowers Sword.

“Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly in my village?!”

Following the clan master’s shout, a stream of Qi in the shape of a sword appeared and slashed toward Su Mo.

Su Mo became focused upon seeing this and raised his fists to block the attack.

Su Mo used all his strength to block the stream of sword-shaped Qi.

“So it’s you!”

As the clan master approached Su Mo, he found out who Su Mo was. He realized that this man was the person who murdered his beloved disciple.

“Yes, it’s me indeed. I never expected you to find out that I was the one who killed your disciple. I didn’t expect you to look like this either.”

The Crimson Hearts was a demonic clan, while the Myriad Flower Blades was a righteous clan. Other than fighting, the two did not interact.

This was the first meeting between Su Mo and the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan, and Su Mo had not expected the clan master to have such a distinguished demeanor..
